Title: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: steveb on October 09, 2005, 03:01:12 AM Tuesday 11th Oct at 8.30pm 'Walking On A Wire', documentary about RT on Radio 2. Programme includes interviews with Joe Boyd, Linda T and SN, should be interesting.
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Jim on October 09, 2005, 11:46:32 PM any fear of anyone mp3ing it?
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Chris on October 10, 2005, 08:13:58 AM I've been advised that it should be on 'Listen Again' for 7 days....listen at your pleasure in that time.
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: PLW (Peter) on October 12, 2005, 10:43:07 AM If you didn't hear it - go to Listen Again on the BBC website where it stays for 7 days. Some interesting stuff, especially from Mitchell Froom.
Two questions: 1. Has "Daddy is a Mummy" been heard before? 2. Did Linda really take all her clothes off and throw herself into the audience on the US Shoot Out the Lights tour - or was she exaggerating to make a point? Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Maart on October 12, 2005, 10:54:22 AM If you didn't hear it - go to Listen Again on the BBC website where it stays for 7 days. I recorded it myself, but would like to point someone else to it. I can't find it on Listen Again. Any clues? Taa Maart Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Chris on October 12, 2005, 11:02:49 AM There are various Listen Again buttons available - go to 'Documentaries, via the Radio 2 page - but none of them yet work....

Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Chris on October 12, 2005, 11:41:53 AM Yes, the links have been activated within the last hour. They all work now.
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Folkie (Jen) on October 12, 2005, 11:44:40 AM My Daddy is a Mummy has been around for a good few years.
Didn't Richard play it at Cropredy in 1999 and on his tour in 2000? Jen Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Chris on October 12, 2005, 11:46:46 AM It may appear on the Free Reed box set due in February 2006.
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Keith on October 12, 2005, 12:33:20 PM Good show, didn't know much about Richard up till last night, didn't realise he was a Sufi Muslim (is he still?)
I like those programs where the subject does lots of demonstrations of technique in the studio, could have been a bit more but I suppose there's lots to fit into an hour, and it was good to hear lots of emphasis on Fairport - but what about Sloth? Surely RT at his best. Ah well, can't have everything :) Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Chris on October 12, 2005, 02:59:23 PM Good show, didn't know much about Richard up till last night, didn't realise he was a Sufi Muslim (is he still?) He's still a Muslim, but he said in a Q&A some months back that he was somewhat more 'relaxed' about it now. So the short answer must be 'no' to Sufism, as that form is rather strict. Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: fat Billy(Bill) on October 12, 2005, 03:20:00 PM I heard the last half hour driving home from work
can't wait to hear the first bit always though he was a bit of a dry old stick but some of the things he said made me think again. never a huge fan, but always enjoy his music, so much understated talent. I feel a cd buying spree coming on Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Malcolm on October 12, 2005, 06:38:45 PM Just heard it on Playback. Good, well balanced stuff. Just learnt he was the first vegetarian in FC, well ahead of Ric!
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Chris on October 12, 2005, 07:36:17 PM Can anyone remember the name of the Sheik in his sufi community? Linda T referred to him a few times....
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Big Dave on October 12, 2005, 08:08:45 PM Listening now to the prog now.
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Keith on October 12, 2005, 08:10:06 PM Just heard it on Playback. Good, well balanced stuff. Just learnt he was the first vegetarian in FC, well ahead of Ric! I wouldn't be surprised if there were more during the late 60s. And Simon is very much into peace and love, so maybe he wasn't the first. Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Shane (Skirky) on October 13, 2005, 12:15:22 AM Good grief! The former Mrs T was rather controversial! Peel All that folk club stuff? The horror! The horror! :o Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Andy on October 13, 2005, 12:16:08 AM Didn't think much of happy-clappy songs. Which is to be applauded.
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Tasha on October 13, 2005, 09:50:46 AM Can anyone remember the name of the Sheik in his sufi community? Linda T referred to him a few times.... was it Idries Abutahir Shah?Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Chris on October 13, 2005, 09:58:52 AM I honestly don't know - I think I'll have to Listen Again.
I thought she referred to him as Sheik-something-something else..... Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Tasha on October 13, 2005, 11:30:12 AM Good show, didn't know much about Richard up till last night, didn't realise he was a Sufi Muslim (is he still?) Ah well, can't have everything :) Quote from Scottish Sunday Herald 31st July 2005 "Thompson no longer practises Sufism, finding its demands at odds with his first love of music. “At a certain point I wanted to get back to having a musical career,” he admits, “So it’s on the back burner these days. But I’m still a practising Muslim.” Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: PLW (Peter) on October 13, 2005, 11:52:18 AM 2. Did Linda really take all her clothes off and throw herself into the audience on the US Shoot Out the Lights tour - or was she exaggerating to make a point? No-one's answered this one yet!!! Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Andy on October 13, 2005, 12:07:36 PM I guess you had to be there. Seemed, from what she said, like she wasn't!
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: ollythedolly on October 15, 2005, 10:15:33 PM any one got an MP3??
Title: Re: RT Radio 2 Show Post by: Chris on October 15, 2005, 10:28:11 PM It's still on Listen Again, Olly - go to the Radio 2 website & look in 'Documentaries'.
